"War," said Faust, "is universal - so implicit in nature that, indeed, without it life would not be possible. You doubt me?. I assure you that even fungi fight wars, in the soil beneath your feet. They battle each other for territory, for dominance, for room to grow. Which ancient combat has been going on so long that the fungi have learned to create weapons. This golden dew is one such, a chemical poison lethal to its rivals. By good fortune it is also lethal to our enemy."
From: Jack Faust. by Swanwick, Michael. Avon Books, 1997
